I am hoping that someone here will be able to help me. I'm not even sure where to start, it has gotten so confusing to me. I am 42. I am of Irish/Scottish heritage. I am a very light smoker gradually weanning myself off of them. I smoke about 3-4 cigs a day now. I rarely drink liquor. Usually stay away from soda pop. Limit my salt intake. Rarely eat beef or pork. At this point, I rarely take medications other than vitamins, herbs, or Motrin. I had some renal problems (2 way & undersized urethra) as a child and received tons of antibiotics as a result. I think it all started there(with the antibiotics)...though I had respiratory (asthma)issues as an infant also.

Current Symptoms:

Cycle Symptoms:
Every 3rd female cycle is hell.I double ovulate every third cycle. Weight gain of 10-15 lbs.. Severe bleeding and a sensation that my uterus will just fall out. Severe bloating of my stoamch (I look about 7 months pregnant). Swelling of my face. Dark circles under my eyes along with puffyness. Depression. Crying. Angry and irritated easily. Skin crawling feeling. My static energy is so high I feel like I am electrified.

Rest of the time symptoms:
All of these symptoms must somehow be hormone related in some way, as they worsen as my cycle approaches and lessen up as it leaves. I get about 4-5 really good days a month,symptom free. I have back pain that seems to worsen and lighten up with all the rest of these symptoms. The back pain is primarily on my left side, lower back and radiates up to my neck and down to my legs as it worsens. Sometimes the back pain radiates through to the front of my torso. My left buttocks cheek is always tight and painful. Panic/anxiety attacks. Variance of never enough sleep to fitfull nights where I am up & down. My nails are thin and peeling up in layers where they used to be super thick and strong. My sinuses are stuffy and my mucous is thick,creamy colored, and cloudy. I have an almost constant headache. My ears itch like crazy and it feels like I am underwater with the same type of pressure, yet they never drain and if I touch them they hurt...even my earlobesand nothing is red and irritated looking. My memory is so bad. My recall is the just the pits. And yet I wake up from sleep with things I need to take care of that I've forgotten. I am now anti-biotic sensitive(if I take any at all I have to go through 5 courses of diflucan just to feel half way ok again. I fight vaginal and systemic yeast infections constantly. My feces even gets yeast in it. My big toenails have fungal infections. My skin is dry and ashey regardless of any lotion or oil I've tried.
I went to a doctor that was supposed to practice eastern medicine as well as western but I didn't have much luck there. I found that he mostly practiced western because he was scared the insurance companies would remove him from their plan.
Conventional doctors try to give me antibiotics, nasal sprays, and antihistimines for the sinus issues...antidepessants for the low spots...antianxiety medications for the edgyness..antifungal drops for my ears. I see a chiropractor for the back pain which gives me a little relief when it gets hard to bear. My cabinet looks like a store from all the diferent items I've tried on each of the symptoms. I should have stock in Motrin for all I take to stop the back pain, the cramps, and the headaches.

To be honest, I think my body is out of balance. I think my health needs to be restored, not just have it's symptoms masked.I have no idea how to do that. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
